A racy take on comfort
NOT EVERYONE PINS ON A NUMBER: This Synapse has plush touches: a longer wheelbase, vibration-damping stays and a 2cm head-tube riser for a higher handlebar. Cannondale uses the riser instead of simply making a taller head tube because the riser is removable, so you can switch to a more racy position if desired.
BUT FAST IS GOOD: This Synapse also has short chainstays for quick acceleration and a build weight of 15.4 pounds, says Cannondale.
